Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2982 Difficult to integrate

  Sichuan people rule Sichuan?

   At least in this day and age, it is impossible.

  Zhuge Liang deeply understands this.

  Because Zhuge Liang was on Feiqian's side, not only took over a ruler, but also a ruler.

  『With people’s rulers and slips, the Lord will take them all to be proud. 』

   So, is it just a plank?

  Normally speaking, trees are everywhere, so it is not uncommon to make rulers made of trees. However, some people's rulers are worth collecting, while others can only be sent to be burned.

  Zhuge Liang stroked the ruler.

   scale, ruler.

  The most difficult thing to measure is the human heart, and the most difficult thing to understand is the Dao.

  What do the poor care most about?

   How to have more money.

  And what do the rich care most about?

  How to take in more production and living materials.

Just the difference in the amount of materials, people's thinking patterns may be completely different, not to mention different clans and tribes, and completely different customs and habits over the years, these will make people unable to empathize of.

  Han people and Ba people don't have any empathy. Similarly, the rest of the tribes, the southern barbarians and the barbarians, also don't have any common emotions. Even the local concept of "Sichuan and Shu" is lacking.

  So in Sichuan and Shu, in the hearts of many tribal people, I am afraid that there are only three concepts that are clear, yours, mine, and God.

  Han people are better.

   This point is one more word, "clan", family, clan, nation.

   Therefore, compared with these scattered tribes, the Han people are easier to gather together, have greater power, can do more things, and create a more splendid civilization...

  『This is the way of the lord...』Zhuge Liang sighed, "If all the people in the world are Han people, you can have one thought in your heart and work hard in one place, and there will be no harm..."

   Still, it's hard.

  Zhuge Liang also knows this, so he can only gather people who can be gathered as much as possible.

  According to what the lord said, "Unity".

  In Sichuan and Sichuan, there are too many things and people living outside. If we don’t take this opportunity to unite, is it possible to wait for Jiangdong people or other people to get them?

  Before the Di people conspired to rebel, Zhuge Liang used methods to not only eliminate some people, but more importantly, severely suppress the so-called "Holy Land"...

  When the "Holy Land" is no longer sacred, it naturally loses its ability to gather people's hearts, and those who are separated will naturally be absorbed by the Sichuan and Shu Han people in the center. This is what Zhuge Liang did best when he came to Sichuan, instead of killing a few people today and killing that cottage tomorrow.

   This time when Ba Snake meets White Tiger, it is indeed a crisis.

  What Zhuge Liang has to do is to control the scale, restrain the danger, and seize the opportunity.

  …(*`ェ*)…

  Meng Huo's heart was very heavy. He didn't expect it to be like this.

  He felt that he seemed very incompetent, not only failed to fulfill the entrustment of Mr. Xu Shu and Mr. Xu, but was even looked down upon by the leader of Ba Snake!

  Ge Laozi really has orange hemp wheat skin...

  The leader of the Ba snake seems to have nothing to fear.

  But what Meng Huo didn't know was why the leader of this snake had such strong confidence?

   It's no secret that people from Jiangdong got mixed up in Baihu Buff's queue. What Jiangdong people want to do is not too difficult to guess. On the contrary, it is the leader of Ba Snake who is even more difficult to guess.

  Meng Huo felt that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't figure it out.

  So he hurried to find Zhuge Liang...

   Really fart.

  Going from Padang to Yufu, crossing mountains and ridges, two legs alone are not enough, and four more legs are needed.

  The horse that Meng Huo rode was Sichuan horse.

Although it is said that there are many Xiliang horses under Feiqian, it does not mean that Xiliang horses can be flooded everywhere. Not everyone in Sichuan and Sichuan can have Xiliang horses, and more people still have them. Riding a Sichuan horse. Chuan Ma is not big, but it is hard-working and good at climbing mountains. The only downside is that it is very bumpy, especially running up and down in Sichuan and Shu, it is really enjoyable to go up and down.

  In history, Guan Erye didn’t come to Sichuan and Shu. Apart from strategic considerations, it may also be because he didn’t like Sichuan and Shu’s horses.

   With Erye Guan’s figure and burly posture, if he rode a small Sichuan horse, it would be like an ordinary person riding a juvenile donkey...

  Zhuge Liang is now retreating to the rear line.

  The Jiangdong people also temporarily stopped their offensive because they needed to replace the governor.

  The two sides seem to have fallen into a weird period of recuperation on the frontal battlefield.

  When Meng Huo arrived at Yufu Camp, he saw Gan Ning.

  Gan Ning is sharpening his knife.

  Maintenance of armor and weapons, some people will throw it to the guards, and some people like to do it themselves.

  Gan Ning is obviously the latter.

  Gan Ning was not in a very happy mood. When he saw Meng Huo and saluted, he didn't say anything, but waved his hand to let Meng Huo go. Then he lowered his head and slowly sharpened his knife.

   Crash, clatter.

Meng Huo looked at the polished sharp edge in Gan Ning's hand. For some reason, his neck suddenly felt cold, so he hurriedly said goodbye and walked over. A small military academy, secretly asked: "General Gan, this is..."

"you do not know? ’ The military academy froze for a moment, 『Oh, you’re new here, aren’t you? 』

  Meng Huo's face was a little dark, "Why, the newcomer can't talk about it?" 』

  『It’s nothing serious…』The military academy lowered its voice, 「I’m not happy if I lost…」

"ha? ! ’ Meng Huo’s eyes widened.

  It’s no big deal?

  The military academy waved his hand and went by himself.

  Meng Huo felt a little weak, and swallowed his saliva.

  Jiangdong is so powerful now?

   Then go to Zhuge to do it now, isn’t it…

   But looking at the surrounding situation, there seems to be no problem. And since you're here, just leave without seeing him, just in case Zhuge gets blamed...

  After all, even General Gan has to be obedient under Zhuge’s order, and he himself, a little captain...

  『Captain Mengdu! Please engage! 』

  A personal guard rolls his name outside the large tent of the Chinese army.

"Come in. 』

  In the big tent, a young but very calm voice came.

  Meng Huo shivered, lowered his head and entered the big tent.

  Compared with the light outside the big tent, even with two windows open, there are still many differences. As soon as Meng Huo came in suddenly, he was a little uncomfortable. He didn't know whether he really had a good look at his feet, or he accidentally hooked on the wooden boards in the big tent, so he bowed forward with a groan...

   Zhuge Liang was taken aback.

   Kneel when you come in?

  Is this an attempt to clear the responsibilities, or is there some major change?

  Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice. "Lieutenant Meng Du, why is this?" 』

  When Meng Huo heard Zhuge Liang's low tone, he became more and more nervous.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was still patient. Seeing Meng Huo like this, he asked someone to add a seat to Meng Huo, and also asked someone to bring a bowl of syrup for Meng Huo to drink first. This was how Meng Huo calmed down. After a while, with a little bumping, he talked about Wang Fanzao, the Ba man, looking for him, and the attitude of the leader of the Ba snake, and so on.

  The syrup is not sweet at all, but sour, just like Meng Huo's current mood.

  Meng Huo originally thought that winning such an errand was a good opportunity, but he didn't expect that it was actually a deep pit...

   Zhuge Liang frowned slightly after listening.

  "So..." Zhuge Liang pondered, "Ba Snake is gathered...at least most of them are gathered..."

  『Get together? 』Meng Huo blinked, completely unable to keep up with Zhuge Liang's thinking pace.

  Zhuge Liang glanced at Meng Huo.

  Meng Huo also looked at Zhuge Liang in a daze.

Zhuge Liang originally didn't intend to explain anything to Meng Huo, because he felt that it would be too much effort to explain to a stupid person. If he had that time, he might as well think about the deployment of troops, the layout and so on, but he suddenly thought that Meng Huo was Xu Shu. sent out...

Immediately Zhuge Liang figured out the meaning of Xu Shu asking Meng Huo to come forward, so he smiled and slowed down his speech, deliberately leaving some space for Meng Huo to speed up his brain and keep up with the pace, "Jiangdong sent people in." Shan, what's the big problem? The backup couldn't keep up. So although Jiang Dong followed the White Tiger, he couldn't last long. The leader of Ba Snake also understood this, so he was not in a hurry, just procrastinated. 』

  Meng Huo nodded again and again, it makes sense, why didn't I think of it before?

  Jiangdong’s soldiers are indeed stronger than the people of Bashe, there is no doubt about it, so Jiangdong also wants to take down Bashan in one go, so he let Buff go around with great fanfare, luring the people of Bashe to take the initiative to fight with the people of Baihu.

Jiangdong's invasion of Bashan was actually a bit like a strategy of surprise attack, and the emphasis on surprise attack is to make a quick decision. If it is delayed for a long time, it will become a positional battle. The pressure of food and grass will make these Jiangdong people return without success .

  That's why the leader of the Ba snake took almost all the supplies of the Ba people in the name of God.

  In this way, even if Baihu defeated some of the Ba people, and even captured these Ba people, so what? Abusing or killing these Ba people will arouse the anger and hatred of other Ba people, and raising these Ba people will increase their own burden...

   It is precisely because of this that the leader of Ba Snake will not let go of his mouth to Meng Huo, or to the Han people represented by Meng Huo.

  For Ba Snake, they have to procrastinate, consume, and endure until the next victory. The more supplies they have, the longer they can procrastinate until the white tiger can't hold back and procrastinate until the next harvest comes.

  What Meng Huo thought of, thought, was just talking about the reward for working, but he didn't expect that it was actually related to the future of Ba Snake...

  "Then I..." Meng Huo stared round, "Then what should I do? 』

  『What do you want to do? Zhuge Liang asked with a smile, "Do you want to catch, or even kill the leader of Ba Snake?" 』

  If you can't solve the problem, you just solve the person who caused the problem. It has always been the best strategy that people with simple and direct thinking can think of.

  『Uh, I have this idea...』 Meng Huo scratched the back of his head and replied with some embarrassment.

He also knows that doing this will not solve any problems, but his current intelligence can only make him realize that this is not very good, but if he wants to think about how to do it better, it seems that some computing power is insufficient and the memory is in a hurry .

  Zhuge Liang nodded, not kidding Meng Huo.

  Meng Huo is just a representative, representing the attitude of Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang's Han side.

  It is a good glove if you do not act without authorization and know how to discuss before doing things.

   Deserves praise.

  『You are right to come to me. Zhuge Liang expressed his affirmation of Meng Huo's behavior, "Lieutenant Meng Du is sensible and knows how to advance and retreat. In the future, he will definitely be promoted and rewarded, and he will get a high position and a generous salary..."

  Meng Huo laughed so hard that the roots of his teeth were exposed, "I will inherit Zhuge's auspicious words!" I... this, haha, hahahaha...」

It is the same as most areas of the big man. A porcupine like Meng Huo comes from, um, a wealthy family, and the thorns on his body are all his own. So if Meng Huo really threw his private soldiers into the big man Xu Shu and Xu Huang must have expressed their appreciation for going to Bashan, but they would definitely not give Meng Huo any supplementary manpower, at most they would give money to the official position after the war.

  『If you can’t help but do it, then you’ve been tricked. Zhuge Liang said, "Ba Snake...you have seen snakes, generally speaking, there are nests...Who told you that there is only one leader of Ba Snake? That's a nest...a group of people...so when you kill one and think you've solved the problem, you're actually standing in a snake's nest...』

"ah? ’ Meng Huo’s eyes widened.

  『So do you know why the people in Jiangdong didn’t search all over the mountains and plains, but let Buff lure them...』Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

  In fact, the relationship here is more complicated than what Zhuge Liang said. Zhuge Liang just picked up something that Meng Huo could understand better, but love and killing each other, interdependence, etc. between the ethnic minorities around Sichuan and Shu and the Han people are all big problems, so how could it be possible in one or two sentences? In the words, can it be solved by simply killing or not killing?

Just like the leader of Bashe, when it is really hard to hold on, he will also give money and supplies to ask the Han people to do something, but at that time, the leader of Bashe will secretly put the Han people in " Taking advantage of the fire and looting” position, let every Ba people know that the Han people are vampires. After the danger recedes, the Ba snake leader only needs to provoke the anger of being oppressed by the Han people at the right time...

What?

   Xu Shu didn't bully him after he came?

  So what about the three or four hundred years before the Han Dynasty?

   Because Fei Qian and Xu Shu came, could the previous three or four hundred years be wiped out?

  The other ethnic minorities in Sichuan and Shu are staring at it...

In fact, whether the Bashan Ba ​​snake will die or not, and whether Bashan will be unified by the white tiger Buff is not the main issue in itself. The most important thing is that there are too many ethnic minorities around Sichuan and Shu. If Xu Shu can't take advantage of the opportunity this time If the dominant position of the Han people is established, it will eventually lead to the path that the Han people have been accustomed to for three or four hundred years.

   Demonstrate strength to the ethnic minorities around Sichuan and Shu, and test the scope of cooperation of the surrounding ethnic groups to see to what extent they are willing to accept the leadership of the Han people, laying the foundation for future integration of Sichuan and Shu surroundings and population compilation.

  Compared with the life and death of the leader of the jaw snake, who is more important than this kind of thing in the next ten or twenty years?

   And these ethnic minorities around Sichuan and Shu are really minorities?

In fact, it is like the information that Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang learned, such as Meng Huo, the local tyrants, have been inextricably linked with the Han people. They wear many pieces of robes, and they feel that the external environment has become more favorable. When it is time to wear it, it will take out what to wear, and the transition between each other is extremely smooth.

  The strength of the Han people means the clothes of the Han people. If the barbarians become powerful, they will paint their faces to show that they are barbarians.

   Fortunately, the current tribes in Jianning, Nanzhong, are inseparable from the Han people.

  This is the overall general trend. The more frequent the interaction of production activities and the higher the development of productivity, the isolated ethnic tribes in this society will be eliminated more and more, and the rest will naturally cooperate with each other...

  Meng Huo wants to gain a higher status, wants to be independent from the Meng family in Jianning, Nanzhong, and wants to start his own business. The more he wants, the more he will naturally need to pay.

   Meng Huo's eyes widened, and the joy just now seemed to have turned into sadness, "Zhuge is engaged in... this matter, how exactly do you want to do it?" 』

  Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, "This matter...isn't difficult..."

Meng Huo is not really stupid, he knew how to find this place, so Zhuge Liang would be willing to meet him, and also told him the secret, if Meng Huo went to Xu Shu or Xu Huang in a stupid way, he would be afraid. It's not that they can't even see people.

   Gloves must have the awareness of gloves, how can they touch the upper layer casually?

  The key point of the conflict now is whether to go out of the mountain or go into the mountain.

The problem Xu Shu is facing now is that he hopes that more people from these ethnic minorities can come out, but it cannot be said that they simply come out, but they need to be able to stay at the foot of the mountain, settle down, and gradually become like ordinary Han people. The leaders of the nation prefer that their people only go down the mountain when they are "needed".

   Only by being able to stay at the foot of the mountain can it be regarded as a complete change in the original Sichuan and Shu environment, otherwise it is meaningless.

  From this point of view, the contradiction between Xu Shu and these ethnic minority leaders is completely opposite.

  『I want to deploy defenses here, and I really can’t get away from them,』Zhuge Liang said slowly, 『If it wasn’t for Xu Shijun, I would have favored you a lot...This matter is not your turn...』

  『Do it, please give me instructions! ’ Meng Huo said in a deep voice.

  Since he has already walked out of Jianning, he naturally doesn't want to go back in despair.

  Everyone has to pay something to be successful.

  Or flesh and blood, or conscience, or chrysanthemum...

  Zhuge Dianliang nodded, "So, the first step... let's find someone first..."

  『Who are you looking for? ’ Meng Huo asked.

  『The leaders of each tribe. ’ Zhuge Liang said.

  Meng Huo was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't ask why, but said, "Where can I find it?" 』

  Zhuge Liang laughed, "Of course it's in the Bashan Mountains." 』

  Meng Huo looked up at the Daba Mountains, and saw that the mountains were stacked and bullied, and the mountains and forests were like rough waves, as if tens of thousands of soldiers were hiding. How to find this? 』

  『The leader of this tribe is like pearls scattered in the wild in Bashan,』 Zhuge Liang smiled and stood with his hands behind his back. 』
